When wolves howl at night
It will give you an awful fright
You think a of spooky ghost
And remember it’s too early to make toast
Then the moon comes out and it shines very bright

We are in candy land
And everything is quite grand
It tastes like cotton candy
This land is really handy
EW sticky gum on my hand

When Santa Claus comes to town
Don’t never ever frown
Because if you are flying a kite
It might get tight
And then it will fall down
I know a man who is quite fat
I also know his crazy cat
Who ate my pet rat
While sitting on an old mat
Holding a baseball bat
I took of his hat
And then he went Ker-splat
And he didn’t have time to chat

There was a fish
Who made a wish
He wished that he could fly
Really super high
Then a girl did a twirl
And threw him through the sky

Hello my name is nick
I want to teach you how to limerick
I’m an elf
Upon the shelf
And I have a pet chick

My friend is a talking pie
He likes this certain fly
The fly is really dumb
It doesn’t have one thumb
The certain fly has to die


When I get a drink
I have to think
About my brothers whip
I took another sip
Then I had to blink
I had a bug
His name was dug
He was quite fine
With his really white line
He loved this certain jug


There once was a boy
Who lost his toy
He always cried
Like someone had died
Then he met Roy

I had a lot of fate
That I really hate
He was not a good mate
When I saw Kate
Out on a date
Bill Nye the giant fly
Bill Nye the flying guy
Bill Nye where’s my tie
Bill Nye likes saying hi
Bill Nye is about to die
Bill Nye just met Jai
Bill Nye took a sigh
Bill Nye likes to lie
Bill Nye is a bit shy
Bill Nye likes to cry
Bill Nye loves to try
Bill Nye stays up high

I like watching TV
With my tiny pet flea
We always watch his favourite show
It’s called go flea go!
I wish I could be more me
I have a pet sheep
She likes to sleep
She has a bad dress
I must confess
It’s so bad I must weep

On the dice
I rolled a trice
When I rolled a two
It fell onto my shoe
It wasn’t very nice

I had this dog
Who would not jog
He was a hog
He couldn’t even jump over a log
He got stuck in a bog
Then he met a frog
He made a blog
And got lost in fog
And he found a cog
I have a pet goose
He says foot loose
He is dramatic
And also static
And his friend is a moose

I have a football
It is not tall
At all
It will fall
Or call
It will land in a hall
Or the mall
Or it could crash into the wall

I know a bully he likes to bash
He has a dog his name is flash
He likes to have a lot of fun
Underneath the rising sun
But he ran away in a dash

I have a lot of trash
That I like to mash
Into a box
It has a fox
That I would like to crash

‘’ hi bob
Do you like to sob?
Because I have a job’’
‘’no knob
I do not sob
So shut your gob’’
‘’…Ok then bob’’


I need you to meet
Someone who has smelly feet
It will be quite a treat
This person you will greet
He has a habit of eating meat
For to him it’s quite sweet
On his farm he grows wheat
In the boiling heat
Although they are not very neat

Whales have a big spout
It keeps them cool in a drought
When they go to fish school
They say it keeps us real cool
They don’t want to be rude
But he eats krill as fish food


Little Bow Peep
Sat on a sheep
And the sheep sat on a heater
That could hold a litre
And the sheep thought it was too deep

My name is Shaun
In May I was born
My best buds
Name was duds
I like to grow corn

I have a friend wheel
Who doesn’t like to peel
Fresh bananas off the tree
He prefers me
And magically I can feel

There once was a boy from Perth
Who liked the taste of Earth
He goes to the park each day
And he will never leave without eating hay
But he would rather have turf
